Noe where Xenon helped me to get to the last time was a working 3.0.0 TWRP but the internal storage isn't showing and he made mention of something about my scatter file not leaving enough room for a working recovery to work above 10MB

this topic should be on a different thread btw

I guess you didn't read my post carefully. When porting I have to come files from META-inf/com/google/android/updater-script of STOCK to PORT

Now I don't have any META-inf from my STOCK ROM (FLASHABLE SP FLASH FORMAT NOT ZIP) to use for the porting

Do you know how I can get this for/from my Stock ROM before porting process

2ndly, made mention of this port ROM not for my DEVICE EXACTLY but has same kernel and chipset, so I have work to do b4 flashing it in TWRP else I brick my device

Lastly, I am open to any title I should give the new thread (it's a minor issue so creating a new thread doesn't change the fact that it has to do with Custom recovery)

I have managed to manually port another similar device TWRP for it v3.1.0 and it works well (boot, data, system & recovery shows and Nandroid backup completed without error) BUT my screenshots are not saved in any of my storage
